Jigongshan Canyon
鸡公山大峡谷
A cliff-edge viewpoint on the western edge of Dashanbao, looking down on the Niulan River gorge more than 2,000 metres deep. It's Dashanbao's most dramatic view.
Jigongshan lies on the western edge of the Dashanbao nature reserve and takes its name from its rooster-like shape, with its head held high. Standing at a cliff edge about 3,000 metres above sea level, you look down into the deep gorge carved by the Niulan River, with a relative height difference of more than 2,000 metres. Mountain ranges stack up in layers, and the early morning often brings a sea of clouds. The viewpoint is a 30 to 40 minute walk along a ridge trail from the parking area, with wooden boardwalks and steps. Walk slowly, since the plateau is high. Do not approach edges without full railings, and be cautious on windy or foggy days. It can be combined with a visit to Tiaodunhe and Dahaizi Lake on the same day.
